No problem, but since it’s related to Fontmatrix, I allow myself to CC to
fontmatrix mailing-list.

1/ I removed ~/.config/Undertype/fontmatrix.conf
2/ I ran Fontmatrix and tried to exit with Ctrl+Q and it worked
3/ I ran it again, set "show in systray" and then Ctrl+Q popup the message
box "The program will keep ..." and Fontmatrix minimized in systray.
4/ After that, Ctrl+Q always minimized rather than exited.
5/ I updated my working directory
6/ removed ~/.config/Undertype/fontmatrix.conf
7/ ran Fontmatrix
8/ fire the prefs panel and...
9/ I just see the "close to system tray" checkbox, shame one me /o\
Sorry to have bothered you with invalid issue.

I think it will be easy to do two things:
-- offer to users a choice (at import) between:
- copy font files in dedicated directory;
- just register directory without copy files out.
-- offer to developpers a rescan() method.
About monitoring a font dir, I think It would be good.
The same for "live" font activation which would be very cool, I continue to be
hesitating between writing all in Fontmatrix frame and expect all apps to
plug into Fm system to offer their users this very cool feature, or meet
almost everybody in this field, particulary Fontconfig & Freedesktop, to ask
them (with a lot of politeness in it :)) to elaborate such a system and then
having an external and, for sure, better designed font management backend.
What do you think?
